Craig Smith

2 books1 follower
Craig Smith lives on the edge (of Edinburgh) with his wife and (now grown-up) children.

In a former life he was a musician with a couple of NME Singles of the Week to his name. In this life, his spare bass gathers dust in a corner while his Fender Precision left to begin a new life in Marseilles.

His debut novel The Mile (Pilrig Press) was published to much acclaim in 2013.

His latest novel The River (Into Books) will be released in March 2025 and is now available to pre-order.

An alumni of the Faber Academy, he continues to write about Scotland, Scottishness, and Scots, and hopes one day he might live in a normal country.

Preferably Scotland.

Good wee Read

This is an excellent way to spend 30 minutes. Humour and thought into real life. Read The Mile by same author.
